Our Value Statements
The pharmaceutical sciences are the base for the education of our students and the
development of safe and effective drugs. Pharmacy practice is the application of therapeutic
and scientific knowledge to enhance patient care. These are the components of excellence at
the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
Graduate students are educated to perform world-class research and student pharmacists to
provide information and medication in a way that provides optimal patient care.
Our Faculty has built a reputation as one of the finest pharmacy schools in Canada.
We have embraced new technologies, developed new approaches to pharmacy
education, and created an environment for innovative research. Our graduates are
acknowledged as outstanding pharmacy practice and research professionals and the work of
our academic staff is respected nationally and internationally.

Dean’s Message
James P. Kehrer, Ph. D.
Our Faculty's future:
Evolving to meet changing expectations
I am extremely proud of the accomplishments of our faculty during the past year, some of which are highlighted in this year’s annual report. I appreciate
that you are taking the time to review this report and trust that you will be as impressed as I am with what our outstanding students, staff, faculty
members and alumni have done.
We view our alumni as valuable partners who volunteer to participate in our Experiential Education Program as preceptors, take on mentoring roles in
the successful Alumni-Student Mentorship Program, and generously give to us financially providing us that essential “margin of excellence”. During the
school months our many alumni volunteers guide our student pharmacists and help them to appreciate the importance of professionalism, and ethics, as
well as knowledge and skills, in patient care.
We now offer two new degrees that reflect our commitment to provide enhanced skills in medication-related care, and management and business skills,
to students with an interest in these additional education options:
•
The PharmD is a professional doctorate degree that serves to recognize advanced education to provide the clinical skills necessary for optimal
patient-centered care. Canadian pharmacists have increasingly become part of primary health care, working on teams and as prescribers of
medications. This additional education will help them to be better prepared for these activities.
•
In partnership with the Alberta School of Business, we now offer student pharmacists the opportunity to obtain the Masters of Business
Administration (MBA) degree. This dual degree program allows our students to obtain important business and management skills in a very time
and economically efficient manner. Students accepted into the program by the Alberta School of Business are granted a one year leave from their
pharmacy studies, then return to our program to complete their pharmacy studies at which time they will be awarded both the BSc (pharmacy) and
MBA degrees.
2011 brought many changes to our program and to our physical location. The Faculty’s Pharmaceutical Sciences Division moved into the new Katz
Group Centre for Pharmacy & Health Research in August 2011. Four months later, our Pharmacy Practice Division relocated to the Edmonton Clinic
Health Academy. Renovation has begun in the Medical Services Building with plans to have our Administrative and student services teams settle into
their permanent home in late 2013, and to occupy new practice and pharmaceutics lab facilities sometime in 2014.
Looking ahead, our website will undergo changes late in 2012 to become more mobile device friendly, thereby fitting into a University-wide strategy. This
change is designed to create an optimal experience for our prospective and current students, staff, faculty members, alumni, donors, and partners in
government and industry worldwide. I invite you to participate or stay abreast of our ongoing activities by visiting our website at www.pharm.ualberta.ca.

Curriculum and Program Development
Preparing student pharmacists for professional realities
Canada’s only dual
MBA/B.Sc. (pharmacy) program
This dual degree allows the Faculty of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical
Sciences to continue to focus on training clinical professionals who take
care of patients, while experts in business at the School of Business
teach the business side.
This unique program will position student pharmacists for success as
future pharmacist-entrepreneurs:
•
aspire to own and operate their own business
•
take on management roles
•
navigate the complexities of pharmacy economics today
The program has student pharmacists enter the Master of Business
Administration program after their third-year to become graduate students
for 12 months. They then return to the BSc (pharmacy) degree program
to complete their final year in pharmacy and then graduate with both
degrees.
Doctor of Pharmacy Program
The Doctor of Pharmacy academic credential is an undergraduate,
professional doctorate.
The inaugural 14-month program (PharmD), begins September 2013.
This Post-Professional program will accommodate students who have
just completed their BSc (Pharmacy) degree and eventually practicing
pharmacists.
Graduates of this program will develop leadership and evidence-based
practice skills to contribute to team-based collaborative care, and abilities
to educate patients, care-givers, team members, and other health
professional students about drug therapy.
Our website offers more information on its Prospective Students
webpages.

Our Research
Translating discoveries into treatments
We have 30 faculty members who have one or more research investigations
underway. This past academic year proved productive for our research and
scholarships. Our faculty member’s research encompasses several topics as
outlined on the following pages.
The University of Alberta’s Toxicology Research Group
Several of our researchers work collaboratively with the Faculty of Science's
Biological Sciences, Biology, Chemistry and Lab Medicine & Pathology
departments as a specialized toxicology unit.
The Faculty now houses two new pieces of innovative equipment:
• 600 MHz Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectrometer
• Electron spin resonance spectroscopy
Local, national and international media reported on Dr. Scot Simpson’s
research findings, released in July 2011. His published works include the
Canadian Journal of Diabetes: Aspirin use rates in diabetes: a systematic
review and cross-sectional study and Journal of General Internal
Medicine: The Effect of Aspirin Dose on Mortality and Cardiovascular
Events in People with Diabetes: A Meta-Analysis. This work showed that
higher doses of aspirin prevented a repeat MI and/or death in diabetic
patients who had suffered a previous MI or stroke.
Dr. Ah-Ng Tony Kong, Alumnus 1983 and world-renowned researcher,
returned to the University of Alberta in September. Dr. Kong was the
guest speaker for a mini symposium hosted by the Pharmaceutical
Sciences Division. He was also a guest speaker for our Alumni Reunion
where he tipped his hat to the university that launched his career, “I want
to thank the professors who got our careers started here.”

Pharmaceutical Sciences Division
Submitted by Dr. Raimar Löbenberg, Chair, Pharmaceutical Sciences
The division of Pharmaceutical Sciences moved in 2011 into the new
Katz Group Centre for Pharmacy and Health Research where they
occupy the second and parts of the third floor. The division has 16
faculty members who are actively involved in research.
Graduate Studies and Research has always been a strength of the
Faculty. Our Faculty was the first Canadian school to grant a pharmacy
PhD. In recognition of its flourishing Pharmaceutical Sciences Graduate
Studies program the Faculty's title changed to the Faculty of Pharmacy
and Pharmaceutical Sciences in 1968.
Ingrit Hamann,
Post-Doctorate Fellow
Two common research themes were identified by the researchers:
1. toxicology
2. drug delivery
The toxicology group investigates cardiovascular and cellular signalling
pathways which may have clinically relevant toxic effects.
The drug delivery group is especially interested in colloidal drug carriers
to improve drug efficiency in cancer treatment.
Other areas of interest are arthritis and osteoporosis. The research is
supported by core facilities like the analytical NMR and LC- MS facility,
imaging facilities with confocal microscopes and a micro-CT scanner, cell
culture facilities, animal facilities and the drug development and
innovation centre which has a Health Canada license and can
manufacture clinical trial materials.
